                      case using the rules of the default locale. This is equivalent to calling
                      <code>toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault())</code>.
                      <p>
                        <b>Note:</b> This method is locale sensitive, and may produce unexpected
                        results if used for strings that are intended to be interpreted locale
                        independently.
                        Examples are programming language identifiers, protocol keys, and HTML
                        tags.
                        For instance, <code>"TITLE".toLowerCase()</code> in a Turkish locale
                        returns <code>"t\u0131tle"</code>, where '\u0131' is the
                        LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I character.
                        To obtain correct results for locale insensitive strings, use
                        <code>toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT)</code>.</p></div>
